Falls City hires Carstens as clerk

Tanya Carstens is the new Falls City city clerk, following the city council’s June 11 vote to hire her from among a field of four applicants. Mayor Brent Houdmann said after the meeting that the part-time employee, who will assist City Secretary Lauren Sturm in City Hall, will be compensated at a rate of $9 per hour.

Carstens replaces Abigail Fenner; the council voted at the meeting to accept Fenner’s resignation.

Also during the meeting, Councilman Andrew Wiatrek was selected as the city’s mayor pro tem. He replaces former Councilman Jeff Johnson, who ended his term in May and did not seek re-election.
